MF-HF DSC Controller Alert/Call Response:
The Distress Alarm sounds and the screen readout no longer contains the particulars of the Distress:
-
The particulars are rarely routed to the printer so it is of no use to examine the printer.
-
Examine the Transmitted Data Directory or the printer to recover the information.
-
Call the Distress vessel on the DSC frequency and request a retransmission.
-
Correct AnswerExamine the Received Data Directory or the printer to recover the information.

A DSC Distress call is received by your vessel and your transceiver frequency display reads: Transmit = 4207.5 kHz and Receive = 4207.5 kHz with J3E emission -- what information can you infer from this?
-
Correct AnswerThe DSC call requested voice on 4207.5 kHz simplex but the requested alternate frequency is improper.
-
The DSC controller decoded the requested voice frequency as 4207.5 kHz simplex and your DSC controller has automatically set-up your transceiver and therefore the requested alternate frequency is correct.
-
The DSC call came in on 4 MHz DSC. You should set-up your transmitter and respond on the appropriate voice follow-on frequency of 4177.5 kHz.

What are potential dangers of automatic transceiver switching in response to a DSC call?
-
Incorrectly formatted DSC calls from other vessels result in a warning in the DSC alarm screen but the vessel still might be switched to an illegal or improper outcome.
-
Correct AnswerThe transceiver may be switched out of the marine bands or the frequency may not match the requested priority or emission.
-
The automatic transceiver switching software always detects improper priorities, emissions & frequencies to ensure there is no danger.
-
The automatic transceiver switching feature always interrupting safe navigation of your own vessel and placing the unit on the GMDSS Distress, Urgency or Safety follow-on frequencies.

Which of these would not be a bad outcome of an Urgency DSC call to all vessels specifying an alternate TELEX frequency & emission that cause your transceiver to automatically switch?
-
The DSC controller decoded the contents of the DSC call and the requested frequency is not on the DUS table/placard but is in the marine band frequencies in the J2B emission.
-
The DSC controller decoded the contents of the DSC call and the requested frequency is on the DUS table/placard in the J3E emission.
-
Correct AnswerThe DSC controller decoded the contents of the DSC call and the requested frequency is on the DUS table/placard in the J2B emission.
-
The DSC controller decoded the contents of the DSC call and the requested frequency is not on the DUS table/placard, is not in the marine band or the other vessel requested a J3E emission.

-
Correct Answer16420.0 kHz
-
16804.5 kHz
